We're janitors at best and I don't mean to disrespect janitorial who do real and very important work. Fixing AI slop doesn't feel real.

Not even janitors. Messy toilet clogs may demand immediate attention. Software sanitation is relatively low in priority.
To continue with the janitor analogy, AI slop is like some drunk person intentionally smearing shit all over the bathroom walls and ceiling because it felt good at the time. They didn't have to do that, but they did and now someone else has to clean it up.
